The coming of a race next year would have required between $ 30 million and $ 35 million in subsidies, an amount deemed unacceptable by the new mayor.<\/p>\n<p>Without a track and without subsidies, a Formula E race in Montreal is certainly dead in the water. Val\u00e9rie Plante noted that she asked the FE to postpone the race for a year so that it could possibly be held at the Gilles Villeneuve circuit after improvements were made in 2018, but the proposal was rejected.<\/p>\n<p>According to the mayor, the penalties incurred as a result of this decision will be borne by the promoter of the event, Montr\u00e9al c&#8217;est \u00e9lectrique. Except that the latter is in serious financial trouble, and according to different sources still has $ 6.2 million in unpaid debts.<\/p>\n<p>This story seems far from over, but what is certain is that Formula E and Montreal are not about to get back together any time soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The controversy surrounding the arrival of a second edition of Formula E on the island of Montreal has been put to rest after the new mayor of the city, Valerie Plante, announced yesterday that the electrified race will not be back in 2018.
